UK-based Silvey Fleet, part of the MB Energy Group, is bringing its fuel card and fleet management solutions to France to help fleets add value and reduce costs.
Silvey Fleet will leverage parent firm MB Energy’s Europe-wide network of automated filling stations
Pierre-Marie Brancour, country manager for France, will oversee operations from the new regional head office in Lille, while Mathieu Cuny joins the team as sales manager for the Auvergne Rhône Alpes and Paca Area. Recruitments are underway to cover the rest of the territory.
The new fuel cards, in partnership with multi-branded French fuel card networks, will give Silvey Fleet’s customers access to competitively priced fuel for multi-fuel fleets at more than 3,000 fuel stations across France, including over 1,500 HGV service stations.
The free smartphone station finder app will enable drivers to easily locate their closest fuel station, while the fuel cards can also be used to purchase other products, such as lubricants, AdBlue and vehicle wash services. All purchases can be tracked and managed via an online portal, and, for added security, the cards will feature a swipe and PIN system.
Silvey Fleet is one of the UK’s most established resellers of fuel cards and fleet management solutions, and prides itself on a reputation built on service thanks to its investment in long-term customer partnerships. Its approach has earned two distinguished accreditations – Investor in Customers Gold accreditation and Investors in People Platinum.

Alongside fuel cards, Silvey Fleet’s vehicle fleet management solutions provide a comprehensive, centralised overview of a fleet’s expenses and operational workings, allowing fleet managers to gain valuable insight and improve efficiency.
The Silvey Fleet team also works closely with customers to ensure they are able to reduce running costs.
The expansion into France follows the firm’s entrance into the Irish market in 2022.
As part of MB Energy’s Commercial Road Transport division, Silvey Fleet’s solutions and services will leverage the group’s Europe-wide network of automated filling stations for commercial fleets, connected to the strong tankpool24 network, in addition to the full-service truck filling stations that MB Energy operates in the UK.
Pierre-Marie Brancour, Silvey Fleet’s country manager for France, said: “With our extensive fuel card experience and well-established fleet management solutions, our aim is to help customers run their fleets more efficiently. Our fuel cards give customers convenient access to competitively priced fuel, while our fleet management solutions provide a top-down look at a fleet’s operations – further driving efficiency.”
